Nanodialysis is bringing innovative products into the market of blood purification and hemodialysis based on new nanostructured materials. Nanomaterials offer a great potential for the detoxification of blood allowing miniaturisation of blood treatment and hemodialysis devices. The focus is on two product lines.

HERO Vascular Access Device to the Rescue

The HeRO is a new choice for hemodialysis access designed for patients with an access that is no longer working well because of blockages or damage to the major veins leading to the heart.

Failing hemodialysis access is a common problem, especially for patients who have been on dialysis for a number of years. The central veins to the heart can become damaged or blocked over time, causing fistulas and grafts to fail.

Until recently, the only option has been to place a tunneled hemodialysis catheter directly into the heart through a large vein in the neck. However, tunneled dialysis catheters were never meant to be long-term and have a number of disadvantages, including high infection rates and limited lifestyle.

Tunisian Researcher invents New Technique of Dialysis

A new medical technique has come to enrich the nephrology specialty, notably for the benefit of patients suffering from kidney failure. It consists in making use of a new extra-corporal blood circuit without recourse to anti-coagulants.

This new technique has been invented by Tunisian doctor and researcher Naoufel Ben Ahmed Bou Akez, from the Tunis Military Hospital’s haemodialysis ward where he clinically tested this new technique and demonstrated its efficiency.

This innovation was presented in national and international medical congresses. Findings of the clinical tests were also published. Authorisation for valorisation of this piece of research has been granted in Tunisia, until the authorisation of its use worldwide will be obtained.

The technical file of this new device was presented, in June 2009, at the Paris Faculty of Medicine (haemodialysis ward of the Pitié-Salpetrière Hospital), with attendance of academics from Tunisia and France. It was agreed to introduce this new technique in France.(TAP)

EINDHOVEN, the Netherlands — Frank Simonis hopes to use nanoparticles and electronics to shift dialysis from the hospital to the home.The Dutch researcher is developing a wearable dialysis system that can clean the blood for up to a year without a doctor’s intervention, skipping lengthy and costly trips to a hospital for dialysis on relatively bulky systems. It uses a combination of four absorbent nanoparticles, two of which Simonis discovered himself.A doctor would insert at a clinic one end of a tube into a patient’s vein and the other into the wearable device. It would draw blood continuously, running it through four membranes coated with the nanoparticles to separate blood from plasma, clean the plasma and return it to the patient’s body.

The device would use electric current about once every four hours to clean the absorbent particles. The nanoparticle would last for up to a year before the patient would have to return to a clinic to have them refreshed.

Simonis hopes to do animal trials on his prototype device next year. He has started a collaboration with other researchers to develop wireless networking capabilities for the system so a doctor could remotely monitor its progress.

If all goes well Simonis’ startup, called Nanodialysis will have a final system on the market in 2014. He gives a tour of his work in the video below. The company is one of about 90 startups in the High Tech Campus Eindhoven, a tech park created on the Philips Research campus in 2003 to attract startups and act as home for spinoffs of Philips’ own research.

Good Example of Teledialysis/TeleNephrology in use

Up to now, patients who need dialysis treatment have been assessed and treated by nephrologists in the specialist health service. Over time, several local health care institutions have introduced teledialysis. This means that patients can receive treatment in their local environment combined with the close follow-up that they need from a nephrologist. IP-based communication is used in the transfer of medical and technical measurements from the dialysis machines in parallel with videoconferencing. This is a movie made by Norwegian Centre for Telemedicine in 2001.

This trend is already catching up in USA……
